I am pretty nervous about the article too. I have eclipse - its got its nice bits but it doesn't let me write Object pascal. And I would have to say that D2006 is much nicer as an IDE. What I DONT do is spend money on all the little AML tools that Borland thinks we should be using. Why? because open source stuff does all I need in that direction. Where would Delphi be if Borland had invested in the tools and language instead of all this other crap. No.. must not get started on this..doesnt do any good and no one in Borland is listening.
D2006 is actually getting me writing more stuff in Delphi but I am certainly watching what happens else where. The pain of it is that I have to use C or Fortran for MPI cluster stuff. Java is slowly getting there but still has some major performance hurdles that I cant accept. Where it will end, I dont know. I'm not moving to .net and still really looking for a substitute for C++ which is what I use Delphi for. One that compile with MPI binding on linux would be nice too. ---------------------------------------------------------- Phil Scadden, Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences 764 Cumberland St, Private Bag 1930, Dunedin, New Zealand Ph +64 3 4799663, fax +64 3 477 5232 _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list [email protected] http://ns3.123.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi
